From 7e1529501883ce8741d8689c150f589ab68a814f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2020 01:55:27 +0100 Subject: rename unstable-kconfig to unstable-keyval Discussions in #6524 have shown that there are various possible uses of the kconfig module and even disagreements in the exact file format between Python-based kconfiglib and the tools in Linux. Instead of trying to reconcile them, just rename the module to something less suggestive and leave any policy to meson.build files. In the future it may be possible to add some kind of parsing through keyword arguments such as bool_true, quoted_strings, etc. and possibly creation of key-value lists too. For now, configuration_data objects provide an easy way to access quoted strings. Note that Kconfig stores false as "absent" so it was already necessary to write "x.has_key('abc')" rather than the more compact "x['abc']". Therefore, having to use configuration_data does not make things much more verbose. --- docs/markdown/snippets/keyval_kobject.md | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/markdown/snippets/keyval_kobject.md (limited to 'docs/markdown/snippets') diff --git a/docs/markdown/snippets/keyval_kobject.md b/docs/markdown/snippets/keyval_kobject.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4add23c --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/markdown/snippets/keyval_kobject.md @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +## `unstable-kconfig` module renamed to `unstable-keyval` + +The `unstable-kconfig` module is now renamed to `unstable-keyval`. +We expect this module to become stable once it has some usage experience, +specifically in the next or the following release + -- cgit v1.1
